Roshin defends his honors thesis!

It has been so long since I’ve posted any lab news…almost two years! Folks have come, folks have gone, many beetles have been collected and exciting research is underway!

Big congrats today to Roshin Papaly who successfully defended his honors thesis, entitled “An exploratory study of the Ouachita Mountain Range by means of genetic analysis of two widely distributed beetle species Toxidium gammaroides and Scaphisoma carolinae”. Roshin joined the lab two years ago as my first honors student and inaugural lab member, and we’re sad but excited to see him finishing this chapter!
